Music has always been a special joy to me. While still a child I enjoyed classical guitar and piano lessons. While growing up I had opportunity to play for our church youth group. More recently I have begun to write songs. They vary widely in style and are not confined to any one genre. My goal is to please the One who is the song-giver; to honour Him in all I write and play. It is my sincere desire that the Lord uses the music I write to draw people closer to Himself. Wherever you are at in relationship to God, may this music touch your heart and be a blessing to you.

Story behind the song
Susan's world was always "so dark," she would say. If there are others out there reading this, who feel the same way, take heart; God is a God of comfort and He can bring you through the toughtest time.
Lyrics
Why? In Loving Memory of Susan: May we never grow deaf to the cries of the hurting. Key: C Intro: My sister died today. I can’t believe She’s gone away. My sister died today. Verse 1 I know God still has a plan for me Of purpose and of hope That is the reason I am able With tragedy to cope. Verse 2 It’s not God’s choice to take one’s life, To die by one’s own hand. Yet still it’s hard to fathom why, So hard to understand. Verse 3 I know it’s right, with God’s help To reach out to those in pain We may not see how we’ve helped; Obey and do it again. Bridge Why, God? Why - did my sister die? You brought us out of darkness Could she not see the light? Why God? Why - did my sister die? Chorus It is not for you to know the why, But to put your trust in Me. I know the end from the beginning; I see what you cannot see. My precious child is with Me now, She’ll never know sorrow or pain Or trials or trouble or heartache Or anguish or hurt again. Ending: It is not for you to know the why, But to put your trust in Me.
